Petites & Grand Cayes Beach | St Martin
“Let’s get lost! Visit this amazing secluded beach that is only accessible via a nice 2 hour hike.”
Step into the wilderness towards Anse Marcel, home to two distinct beaches. Start your journey at Anse Marcel Beach by following the Froussards Trail, accessible from an empty parking lot on the right as you head downhill. It takes you around 1 hour to get there and 1 hour to return.
Discover the secluded Petites Cayes, located on the island’s northeastern coast. Known as one of the top hidden beaches, Petit Bay boasts golden powdery sand and crystal-clear blue waters with stunning mountain views.
The rocky hike takes about an hour, adding to the charm of this hidden gem. Settle in and enjoy the scenery or continue your adventure.
Grand Cayes is wild and feels almost like you’re in an episode of lost. The area is surrounded by all sorts of local fauna. The clear waters allow you to admire the dazzling seabed filled with all kinds of aquatic wonders. Grand Cayes beach is located within the confines of the Nature Reserve. This untouched wilderness of a beach has a wide strip of sand but has no amenities, so as with most beach explorations and hikes, bring your supplies. It is an extremely serene and quiet location. You will be hard-pressed to run into anyone else while you explore.
This beach is just another of many secluded little wonders the island has to offer. So, strap on your hiking shoes and get ready to become lost in nature.
